THANKS TO ALL WHO LEFT COMMENTS ON MY LAST entry, re: comments. I really appreciate it.

The pictures in this entry are what I would label as "vacation" pictures. Not that such pictures can not be included in my "art" library, cuz some can be so included. However, it is my wont to convert my vacation pictures to my classic snapshot look. Unfortunately, I did not bring a copy of my master snapshot file so those conversions will have to wait until my return to home.

However, here's the thing about what appears to be casually-made vacation "snapshots". To my eye and sensibilities, I find that, once the pictures are assembled into a printed photo book, and based upon the strength of the total body of work, the pictures start to be perceived as "art".

Although, it might be more accurate to write that the photo book itself is perceived as a piece of "art". Assuming the photo book has a simple / elegant design-in my case, 1 photo per page with a generous white surround-it can be viewed and appreciated as a precious artifact.
